    Unsurprisingly as Macs continue to grow in popularity, so too does
    malicious code targeting this platform.

    Today, we have a new Mac malware specimen named "WildPressure".

    It was discovered by researchers at Kaspersky, who posted a detailed
    writeup on the malware: "WildPressure targets the macOS platform" ( https://securelist.com/wildpressure-targets-macos/103072/ ).

    Currently the persistent macOS component is not detected by any of the anti-virus engines on VirusTotal.

    Worried if you're already infected?

    You can run KnockKnock, which enumerates persistently installed
    software, including the malware!

    Gee, what a surprise. The people selling an anti-malware app has
    "discovered" a supposed new piece of malware and just had to tell
    everyone. :-\

    Another theoretical one that yet again won't actually be found on any
    Mac in the real world.

    Isn't it always?
    A little research and a post IN YOUR OWN WORDS works wonders,
    or is this ANOTHER phishing trip?
